My most recent Brand new Rick definity has a different aroma than the new one I got 6 years ago, and i can tell it is from the finish on the guitar itself, not unpleasant at all, like new car smell. I wish I could bottle it

I can't believe you don't love that smell. I open the case just to sniff.

I found it especially strong when my 650 D was delivered some years ago.No if Paul W. could only bottle the the smell add market it as a man's cologne or as a woman's perfume I would buy enough to last a lifetime!

I bought my 3rd Rick in October 2008 and I put the Manual and the case candy in a box file. I went to the box file last week and - guess what? That same new smell!

I think Rickenbackers produce pheromones !!!!!

..and I thought my 350/12V63 (bought a few months ago, orig. 2005) was perfumed by its pre-owner in order to cover something else's odor.Now I received a brand new 4003 bass and its the same, ha.But I must admit I liked the smell from the very first second :-) and would be sad at the day when it's gone.Any chance to refresh then ? Buying the glue or so ?
